I have pasted entire HTML docs including <head> and <body> tags inside documents
that then get 'wrapped' with my Zope standard_html_header and footer.  I can see
it all if I view the source in my browser.  

The first set of tags (from standard_html_header) seem to take precedence.  My
browser is Netscape 4.6 Linux; your users are probably not Linux-based, and I
don't know if this is "standard" browser behaviour.  Give it a try.
